CAROLINE A. BROOKS, wife of Harold n.
Morse and daughter of the late Dea n.
p. Brooks of Montpelier died of consump-
ton at an early hour Friday morning. She
was born May 23d, 1852, and Montpelier
was her home until her marriage, December
18TH 1876, to Mr.. Morse. The latter's duties
as an instructor in Johns Hopkins Uni
versity necessitated his residence in that city
a part of the year, and IL was their home un-
til recently, when the state of Mr. Morse's
health became such as to make desirable
residence farther north, and Mr.. Morse
built house in Amherst, Mass. In their
new home they had been established but
short time when Mrs Morse was called
hence. Four children--three boys and a
grl-are left motherless by her demise. At
the time of, and for several months previous
to, the sad event Mrs. Morse's sister, Miss
Mary o. Brooks, had been with her, and
her brother and sister, Mr.. and Mrs. j. "
Brooks, went to Amherst to attend the
funeral, which took place Sunday after
noon. The city where occurred the death
was also the place of burial.
A FINE elm tree in front of one of G. H.
Heath's new houses on Barre street was
nearly, if not quite, ruined by some mis-
creant, who, during Saturday night bored,
with a ven-eighths-inch bit, thirty-siX
holes, averaging about four inches in depth,
in line around the trunk. The industry
displayed was worthy of a better cause, since
it must have required a good deal of labor to
bore to an aggregate depth of twelve feet in
solid wood. The tree has been bone of CON
tention for certain parties who have loudly
urged the claim that Mr. Heath has appro-
priated to his own use land properly be-
longing to the public highway, inasmuch as,
from its position and being an ornamental
tree, it might interfere with any action to
alter the lines and recover the alleged stolen
land in case it were proved that the claim
had foundation. Whatever may be the
facts as regards this matter (and we under
stand that the charge is groundless), the act
was a most contemplate one, and it is a
matter for regret that proof is not had by
which the perpetrator may be brought to
justice and punished to the fullest extent
of the law provided in such cases.
